I have worked in the health and fitness industry for the last 8 years, but my interest in fitness and well-being began when I was young, running 400m hurdles for my native country, Poland. I spent 10 years of my life on the athletics track and developed a passion for learning how to get the most out of training time and how best to take care of my body.

After graduating from Physiotherapy in Poland I moved to London to study widely in the Health and Fitness field, becoming a Personal Trainer and a Pilates Instructor along the way.

I am inspired every day to help my clients achieve their fitness goals alongside good nutrition to lead healthy, happy and balanced lives.

When I was working in Sydney, Australia as a marketing manager, I found I was always desperate to get out of work and over to my favourite local Pilates studio. When my father died, I took some time to travel and think about my goals, and that’s when I decided to become a Pilates instructor. I believe variety is the key to keeping exercise interesting, so I love teaching classes with different equipment and fusing traditional Pilates with Barre-based training. I am also a pre- and post-natal Pilates teacher and this is one of my favourite parts of my job; it’s such a privilege to help mothers through this special time and help them experience movement in a safe and functional way.

Sweaty Betty is a silver lining story. Faced with redundancy, Sweaty Betty’s founder Tamara wanted to turn her luck around and embrace the opportunity to make a change for the better. So she thought about the things she loved – fitness, adventure, fashion
– and how she could run a business that would appeal to all her passions. “Imagine if there was a community for women like me who want to lead an active life without compromising on style,” said Tamara. “My vision is to dress a woman, and at the same time empower her. I want to create workout wear that’ s more than something to sweat in, it’ s a tool for transformation.”

In 1998, Tamara took the first step and opened the original Sweaty Betty boutique in Notting Hill. Within the stunning listed venue sat the most beautiful and technical in specially–designed workout wear for run, ski, yoga, swim and every discipline for the British fitness enthusiast.

Tamara’s dream has become an inspirational reality. Sweaty Betty has expanded into an omnivchannel retailer selling premium women’s activewear, designed in–house, across worldwide boutiques and an award–winning global website. From its humble origins, Sweaty Betty has evolved into a global fit fashion powerhouse. With unmistakable British style, we enable and empower every woman to push boundaries within her favourite workouts and beyond.
